July LIST. This same show has been
travelling through the southwestern
part Of Pennsylvania and has been
swindling the people wherever it has
exhibited. 1t appears to be followed
by a set of monte men and sharpers
who have taken large sums OF money
off the people by fraudulent schemes,
Below we give few extracts from
Pennsylvania papers:
The Connellsville Courier says
The Main circus which exhibited in
Scottdale, Mt. Pleasant, and other
parts of Westmoreland county last
week, proved TO be q swindling affair

say Of the show: Main q Co. s snide

points, out of large sums by the three
card.monte, shell and soap rackets.
The Waynesburg Democrat has the
following Main a. Co.'S Consolida.
ted Combination Circus pitched its
tent near the upper planning mill,
Wednesday morning last. 1t was a
small affair and the performances
were rather stale, but our people were
hungry for anything that looked like
a circus, and were delighted t0 again
be permetted to huddle themselves
together under the 8xl0 tent, laugh
at the same old jokes, admire the
same exhibition of athletes, drink
the same lemonade made from the
same lemon and colored by the same
drop of cochineal.
From the above 1t appears that the
show is small, snide affair, and re-
Allies more money by swindling than
by its entertainment. We do not be d.
lieve the public ought to patronze
such an affair. There will, no doubt,
be big crowd in town on the day of
the show, and we warn one and all
to beware Of the sharper and pick.

The collection for the general
school fund for the year 1897, which
ends for the FISCAL year on June 10,
have been footed up by the Auditor
and shows the distributable school
fund Of 81 to be s4O2306.87, the
largest in any one year in the history
Of the State. This state Of affairs is
of course largely due to the increased
income on account of The happy ter
mination of certain tax suits, but
somewhat also TO the enhanced value
of property, tbc building Of railroads
and tho increase Of population.

Why this system of general delivery

however; the system ought to be
